Anyway I slice it, I cannot make a sprinter conversion work in my head. I can't imagine paying 2-3x of a Foretravel for an inferior drivetrain, space, and amenities. The only travel style I can see them working for is equally suited by hotel rooms, or a Chrysler minivan that can be had for $5k.

That just brings back memories of my youth where my parents took us all over europe and america in a Volkwagon camper van with the add-on tent. Memories that can never be replaced, but not quite the approach I wish to take after having worked a lifetime to be able to have what I have.

We traveled with someone who decided renting a car was the way to go.  Once we parked and hooked up the utilities, we were ready to go while our friends were waiting for the rental driver to pick them up.  Some places required you to find you way to them. Disconnecting the coach to go to dinner......think about it.  We had a class C without toad for a while (responding to the Sprinter issue) and though we could park it in most parking lots, it was a bugger having to put everything away and disconnecting from the utilities every time we wanted to explore or go out for a meal and exploring was limited.  Many places where you would want to visit will have a lot of other visitors for the same reason and parking can be an issue.  Lastly, have you checked out how much rental cars are these days?
